I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I love the flexibility and simplicity that is the TN system. I also love book bound, but the travelers notebook is a truly happy place 🫶

The modularity of the TN is so key. I split my planning/tracking by time scale, so anything that's longer than a month goes into one insert that lasts me 3 years. My daily logs can fluctuate wildly in length, so my main planner insert can last 3-5 months depending on current usage. I also have a third insert for memory keeping. I love the flexibility and adaptability of the system.

I’m just starting my TN journey, except I’m using everything small shop. Actually was setting up a weekly plan for the first time as I watched/listened. Also very happy to see someone else loving goodINKpressions! It’s my favorite!

I love my TN! It’s just so perfect! And I don’t baby my camel cover, so the past five years have been making its mark on it! I only have one Standard and one Passport TRC cover, and I love them!

In my TN I have the monthly, undated weekly (that I hop in and out of), and then a grid insert for a journal! It’s my happy place

I journal very similar, a mix between rapid logging and longform reflections. But these days I use a ringbinder in landscape mode and only use one side (the other side for doodles and photos) and every week I put my daily logs in different collections and index them after I’ve done that. My task list is my field notes and is always on me.

I just can’t do the inside of the travelers notebook. I wish it was smooth on both sides.

Ur handwriting is actually beautiful. We always hate our own handwriting lol

Hello, I have a few questions to ask!! Where did you get that metal clamp(?) thingy you had on the standard TN cover (where the band went over)?
I have no idea what it's called and having a hard time finding it 😭 Also, which pen loop did you use?
